Discover how culture and cuisine are interwoven in Italy's gastronomic hot spots of Tuscany and Northern Italy. Begin in Florence, boasting romantic Renaissance architecture where you'll get to experience a balsamic vinegar tasting with a local expert, and then hit a local market with a private chef-guide to source ingredients for your own cooking class to follow. Continue to Montepulciano, a medieval hill town, where you'll embark on a Tuscan gourmet tour, as well as a wine tasting excursion. From Siena, head out into the countryside for a tasting of Chianti, then find yourself heading north to one of Italy's most renowned gastronomic cities, Bologna, for some pasta, chocolate, cheese and wine tastings. A private truffle hunting experience in Turin will round out your mouth watering adventure. Treat your taste buds as you indulge in Italy.

How Kensington Began

Kensington Tours is the inspiration of intrepid explorer and Royal Geographic Society Fellow Jeff Willner. His thirst for travel stems from growing up in Africa where his parents worked for most of his childhood, and where he discovered the richness of global cultures. A veteran of global expeditions to over 70 countries, he has criss-crossed the continents to experience the extraordinary. During these years, Jeff realized the vast difference between a package tour and personal discovery – where deep knowledge and personal attention of a local guide can turn a trip into an experience.

It is from these roots that Jeff began building his vision for Kensington Tours, drawing on his years with McKinsey & Company and Wharton. Led by a team of destination experts with real in-country experience (not a call center) and a commitment to rethinking the way you travel - it has resulted in an award-winning travel company that spans the globe. What does this mean for you? It's simple: extraordinary travel experiences at unrivaled value.
